inashoe Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 When do you recommend starting VfCR level A ? Do you also recommend getting the Answer key or Teacher Guide ? Does the teacher guide includes the answer key ? Do you recommend starting with Level A - or beginning with Levels 4 to 6 ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
usetoschool Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 We start with level 4 after we finish the spelling program we use and yes, I use the guide but mostly for the answers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhondabee Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 We struggled through the first half of VfCR-A this year in 8th. (I'm not saying that's the ideal time to start - we had a late start to hs'ing and gaps to fill in spelling-wise.) Finally, in desperation, I ordered the Teacher Guide and it is *wonderful*. Yes, it makes it a very teacher-intensive subject. But, it is only taking 10 minutes or so - less time than it was trying to get my ds to make flashcards and study them. And, he is actually remembering the definitions instead of just saying, "Oh, yeah, I think I've heard of that word." But, if you have a strong reader who doesn't mind writing flashcards & learns well that way, then I wouldn't worry about the Teacher Guide. I would just try the recommended routine in WTM.
